latest Version (2024/2025)
empirical, deterministic, predictive, parsimonious - ✔✔the scientific method is _______,
________, ________, and ________
empirical - ✔✔science is ________: based on data- we collect data and then interpret it; we
have to make sense of the behavior that we're trying to understand
deterministic - ✔✔science is __________: things obey physical laws; not random in terms of
cause and effect, and can draw generalizations from data that we can extend on to other
situations we have not yet experienced
predictive - ✔✔science is ________: if a given phenomenon occurs, it can influence another
one; represents cause and effect relationships
parsimonious - ✔✔science is _________: uses the simplest explanation versus making it
unnecessarily convoluted
listener bias, severity objectively, progress over time, EBP, biofeedback - ✔✔why do SLPs
use technology?
-overcome _________ _______
-describe ________ _________
-track ________ _______ _______
-ASHA's focus on ___________
-provide ___________ to the client
acoustics - ✔✔____________ can help by telling us how the larynx is operating or how
articulators are moving; measures speech production through microphone readings
kinematics - ✔✔______ is the study of speech movements
, aerodynamics - ✔✔__________ describes the pressures and flows and resistances involved
in regulating our breath stream as we speak
electromyography - ✔✔__________ is the measure of electrical activity in muscles as they
are activated
speech perception - ✔✔________ __________ is how the brain interprets sounds
complex tone - ✔✔a _________ ________ involves multiple sine waves together, blended,
with the fundamental frequency as the lowest frequency component
pitch - ✔✔_________ is the subjective perception of frequency
-it cannot be measured with instruments
-listener matches perceived pitch to that of a pure tone of known frequency
difference limen, more, larger - ✔✔the frequency _______ ___________ is the smallest
detectable change in frequency that is detectable by a listener
-higher frequency sounds must differ ________ to be heard as different in pitch
-true for comfortable listening level
-as intensity decreases, DLs become ____________
fundamental frequency - ✔✔the _________ __________ tends to be the loudest sounding
in a complex series of sounds (e.g. harmonics)
harmonics - ✔✔__________ are periodic, integer multiples of the fundamental frequency
residue pitch - ✔✔another name for the missing fundamental phenomenon is __________
__________
timbre/quality, pitch, harmonic structure, calculation, simulated bass - ✔✔missing
fundamental:
